not always easy, particularly with individual candy pieces and the risk of factory cross-contamination. So candy that is marked as coming from a nut-free facility is actually really appreciated for my peace of mind.
Parents of kids with allergies should be prepared to swap out candy, so don’t - but it is nice. I’ve got a much bigger beef with the assholes in the bread industry who started throwing sesame flour into everything when sesame had to be labeled just to avoid compliance problems.
I cut to the chase: there’s a big bowl of nothing but Reece’s cups on the well illuminated front porch. Go nuts, kids, but please don’t ring the doorbell because my pups are exhausted from barking all light and frankly so am I.
We put out two bowls, one of candy and on of potatoes (old inside joke that had become tradition). We go through several bags of potatoes each year.
One peanut free bowl, one normal bowl, and another with Play-Doh and Hot Wheels. We have a bunch of allergy kids in our neighborhood. Also beer for the adults.
Lol, first time I have ever had a full family come to the door. Little kids, teens, 20 somethings, fifty year olds and all expect candy. I know shit is rough but damn.
We typically get like ~40 trick-or-treaters, so I always do little snack sized ziplocks with a full-sized candy bar and 3 or four random pieces. I made 60 bags this year to be safe, and they were gone by 6:30. I just had to restock and just bought a fuckton of dumb-dumbs.
just had a 50-60 year old guy roll up and say "trick or treat." with it being in the 30s tonight, I respected the hustle.
daughter got a seaweed snack in her bucket and it's her favorite weirdos i'm eating all the snickers snack size
we gave out a mix of reese's/kit kat/hershey's mix and trolli worms/nerds/laffy taffy mix trolli worms were the #1 favorite among the neighborhood kids I ate all of the cherry laffy taffys before they could be procured by children
40? Got damn Got about 5 or 6 groups tonight and thought was great for our downtown denver neighborhood. I’d have to buy so much candy for that amount of kids
My brother and I work together and yesterday he said he was stopping at the store to grab some candy. So he picked up a bag for me. He bought this bag for me for $35. Wtf
also I was solo with the dogs this year and didn't want to sit outside so I employed the "leave a large bowl out front with a note" tactic that said take 2-3 pieces per child and people in my neighborhood were incredibly respectful of other families and followed the guidelines.
Got snowed on but had three jello shots, two pudding shots, a hot chocolate with caramel vodka, and three beers. My neighborhood goes hard.
Had a great time sitting on the porch handing out candy. Probably had 24-30 kids in 6-8 groups. Decent numbers for my neighborhood all things considered. Almond joys were surprisingly popular…kinda bought those for myself lol.
Pokémon cards are still a big deal. My 8 year old daughter went wild over getting 2 packs from a house.
Put out more than last year even when I had like half left but all gone this year. Couple dickheads definitely went to town. Gave neighbor kids bags before hand to not be completely antisocial
